Am I the only WHM who rather have a wand and shield vs staff relic?

[MithrasInvictus]

I miss the days of hammer-wielding white mages...

[The-Alchemist]

Id trade some stats for a good wand and shield that added block + some decent armor..

Different builds add variety instead of everyone having the exact same build and gear at the end.

Also, if you notice all the conjures in the game have wands not a staff.

DAOC Cleric..

ah the good old days of DAOC. I miss watching the albs swarm over the hill by the thimble and get promptly farmed by my friends and I. Man I loved that game, so sad Mythic went and fk'd it up.

edit: And OP no yo aren't the only one. I don't mind the staff but I'd like a shield and wand combo as well.

You know they are making a new one called DAOC Unchained

But yeah didn't mythic crash and burn for making warhammer or something

White mages should always use two handed staffs. The pitiful protection from the shield isn't gonna save you. Better to have your heals as strong as they can be.

No reason for their not to be a wand/stave and shield combo with stats equal to that of a 2H Stave.

I blame EA, were they not in transition of being bought out during WAR's development!? Regardless I still blame EA for everything...

[Eidolith]

If they made cooler wands than just those twigs then yes, only other models are the GC and garuda ones, i'd love something like the maelstrom GC thm/blm scepter with a matching shield.

Yes, Camelot Unchained, I donated to the kickstarter. Really hope it comes out because it sounds pretty bad ass.

Warhammer online pretty much tanked Mythic I think. It's to bad, Warhammer online had a LOT of potential to be great but they did typical Mythic stupidity. I bought it at launch. I remember there was a combo that both sides could do, the mutated side (can't remember the name) could do it easier. There was one ability that pulled every hostile target in a frontal cone up to the caster, this was on a light tank/melee dps in the mutant side. It was on the engineer for the alliance characters a rarely played class. You'd pull everyone in and have a sorceress aoe everyone down. People really were screaming for them to fix this.

Mythics response, "we're going to increase sorceress AOE dmg"

I think my gurada wand and DL shield looks awesome..

yes I do, but then I got the relic ^^

seriously tho, I am a big fan of shields.. but it does very little for a WHM being mobbed ... however if you're going for just "looks", then by all means...

[Riv]

I'd rather have a shield. But maybe SE though WHM would be too much like PLD then. OH WAIT, PLD cures are completely worthless! /rant

[Gucci_Charms]

I like the shield and wand look myself.
